Peter Pan pantomime auditions at Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury

Talented youngsters are being sought to take on roles in one of Kent's biggest pantomimes this Christmas.

The Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury is holding auditions in partnership with Evolution Pantomimes this Saturday (July 15) to find some of Peter Pan's youngest cast members.

There are roles on offer for the Lost Boys, John and Michael Darling and for girls in the juvenile ensemble who need to be under 5ft 2inches tall.

Young people aged between nine and 15 (inclusive on September 1) are asked to

register at noon (girls) and 2.30pm (boys).

The girls’ audition will take about two hours and a routine will be taught.

Boys will take part in a workshop audition.

No food or drink other than water should be brought, and comfortable clothes and

soft/dance shoes worn.

A total commitment to the pantomime, says the theatre, from the rehearsal period to the end of the pantomime's run, is required.

Peter Pan stars Shaun Williamson (EastEnders), Wendi Peters (Coronation Street), Gemma Hunt (CBeebies), along with Canterbury favourites Ben Roddy and Lloyd Hollett.

It runs at The Marlowe Theatre from Friday, November 24 to Sunday, January 14.
